Dash Cam Installation, Hardwiring & Warranty

Q: Why should I get my dash cam professionally installed?

A: Professional installations ensure optimal placement, clean wiring, and safe access to power—for example, properly routing wires is critical to avoid interfering with airbags or causing battery drain. You'll also benefit from warranty support and safer long-term reliability.

Q: Where is the best place to fit a dash cam?

A: Install the camera just behind the rear-view mirror on the windshield—this avoids obscuring vision and ensures full coverage of the road ahead without obstructing the driver's view.

Vehicle Tracking & Fleet Telematics

Q: What features do your fleet tracking systems offer?

A: In conjunction with Smartrak systems include:

• Real‑time GPS and geofencing for location control

• Driver monitoring (harsh braking, speed)

• Route optimisation and fuel use tracking

• Dashboard insights and exportable reports for fleet managers

Q: How does vehicle tracking help with UK regulations and compliance?

A: Telematics tools help you comply with UK rules—tracking drivers’ hours, monitoring emissions for Clean Air Zones, and generating automated reports for audits and DVSA inspections. Dashcam evidence further supports insurance and legal cases.

Q: Is fleet tracking legal in the UK?

A: Yes, provided drivers are informed and consent is given. Companies must have a clear tracking policy outlining what data is collected, how it's used, and allowed driver monitoring times. GDPR requires transparency, data minimisation, and defined storage limits.
